Here's what we're planning to do...
When 1.3 is released tomorrow, we will temporarily be running the server on a vanilla map, without plugins. Once all currently used plugins have been updated after the release of 1.3, we will then restore the map currently being used.
We will be backing up the current state of the map tomorrow right before we switch to a temp (vanilla) map, meaning anything you build up until the moment we switch maps should still be there when the map comes back, so no worries about players losing their items/builds .
1.3 is confirmed to be released tomorrow (Wednesday, August 1, 2012 - Exact time of release unknown).
[On another note..
In the future (though quite far off as we don't have much ready yet) we will be working on a new spawn and other structures, as well as planning which plugins to add/remove/edit for a new map.
We will, when we're closer to actually switching to the new map, release the details of what we're planning but as of yet we don't have a clear enough idea of how our new setup will work nor have we built much of the planned structures or found the right plugins for the desired setup.
In other words keep in mind that we're going to "eventually" change the map and features of the server, but as of now nothing is certain so don't worry about it yet. As I said we'll be sure to consult with and announce to you players what changes will be occurring when we have more solid details to give to you.
Just to clarify this is just something I thought I'd mention and does NOT apply to the 1.3 update or any changes taking place soon.]
Oh, and get ready for some chaotic vanilla map shenanigans tomorrow!
